Well, since I was able to order something from Amazon, it's not my card. My bank keeps rejecting orders from overseas. GreenManGaming and GetGames both are in Europe. I'm so frustrated.

Maybe Paypal?

Just because it uses Steam, doesn't mean it's a Steamworks game.
This. I'm almost sure it doesn't have achievements or cloud saving.

edit: by the way, Alpha Protocol's awesome. Great buy Steamworks or not.

Sketch is a class guy. I'll vouch for him as well.

Thanks for hosting! Can't wait to play it.
 
admittedly, I've never actually had an issue with steam so I've never had to contact customer support. But.. I've finally had an issue, and holy crap are they slow to respond. I tried to cancel this pre-order 24 hours ago, and I still haven't heard back from them.

Yeah they're not that bad. But a live chat would benefit them greatly!

I really didn't like LA Noire at all. Now if they finally made a decent RDR port I'd double dip in a heartbeat. That game would be fucking incredible at 1080p and 60fps.

Red dead is just an excellent game. La was terrible. Boring gameplay with shoddy visuals and an extremely lame plot.

I would much rather have RDR than LA Noire. : /
This. I accidentally played it for an hour and a half yesterday, and I was simply trying to prove to my girlfriend that you can crack safes in the game.
 
Random Broken Sword sale! GET.
I always miss on these during the big sales because they are just far enough below my interest level that I spend the money elsewhere.

Also Call of Cthulhu is a buggy, crashy, freezing pile of crap.
The game is very good and has aged strangely well but man do you have to work really hard to keep it running.

One section I had to not touch the floor to keep it from crashing.
Another section I had to push a bookcase as fast as possible to keep it from crashing.
And yet another section I had to drop the rez to 640x480 and turn off sound to keep it from crashing.

Testiment to how much I like the actual game that I put up with all this shit.

Anybody else doing a Dead Island four pack?

Palette Swap PM'd me but missed the last spot. You should start one and you have two people already! Believe me, between now and release you will easily sell those last two slots.
 
Ill agree with LA Noire being a bit disappointing...I still need to finish my PS3 version but I just cant bring myself to care about it.

The investigations were billed as something more organic and open ended but really they are impossible to fail and the game is about as linear as they come.

The facial technology is impressive though.

RDR on the other hand is one of the best games of all time and a PC port would be incredible.

Hopefully it's not a forced 2 pack like the summer sale. I didn't buy it because the price was 12 instead of 6 because of that extra copy.

edit: annnd it is, what a shame. They really don't want me to buy this game.

It isn't a 2 pack, its a bonus free copy with your purchase. They might effectively net the same result, but the price for a copy is $24.99, and you get a free bonus. Think of it like getting a free hat, only better.

Is Stronghold 3 a steamworks title? If I buy it from greenman will it just give me a CD key?
Did you read the Customer Notes?
"Customer notes
Please note that the release date for this game has not yet been confirmed by the publisher and is subject to change.

This game requires Steam(TM) in order to install and run and so cannot be traded or refunded."

Yay. I'm tempted to get it since I like the style, and the facial animation seems cool. Didn't their team already get dissolved though? I don't know who the money would be supporting. =(

I agree that a port of RDR would be welcome.

The money would go to Rockstar, who has their own team doing the port entirely, since day 1.

Alpha Protocol isn't Steamworks but GMG have some kind of deal with SEGA to sell Steam keys for it.

If you like mission based racers Crash Time 3 is only $3.39. Haven't fired that one up yet but Crash Time 2 was really good and Crash Time 3 should have some improvements.
 
I'll buy LA Noire when it's down to $5. What I've seen of the game really didn't impress me at all. I just can't get over that silly three-way there-is-one-correct-choice-only system that tells you afterwards how you did. YES, I'm playing a fricking video game. I get it. You don't need to remind me every twenty seconds.

My time with a rental on PS3 was enough to convince me NOT to but it full price when it hits Steam. It's a very hit or miss game and I'll wait till it's around $20 before I add it to my collection.

Wise choice.

It's really not a very good game. I regret buying it day one.
